“This is my third nomination and I’ve been to the Globes six times and I’ve worn a dress every time,” the “Westworld” star explained to Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet. “I love dresses, I’m not trying to protest dresses, but I want girls and women to know that they’re not a requirement. You don’t have to wear one if you don’t want to and to just be yourself. Your worth is more than that.”

Nominated for best actress in a TV series, the 29-year-old actress also noted her ensemble was a nod to icons of the past.

“[An] homage to Marlena Dietrich in ‘Victor Victoria’ and David Bowie because it’s his birthday,” she shared.

Wood also tweeted a special message to Bowie, who would have turned 70 on Tuesday, to her 333,000 followers.
